Alien InvAsian

It scares small children, horrifies all heterosexual males, and sends fashionistas into fits of rage. What am i talking about? Yep you probably guessed it right, The Asian Lady Sun Visor! Laine will forever have nightmares after her first sighting of one today! The girls and I went to Lacy Park this morning and Laine was bouncing away on a toy horse, singing, and yelling "Yee Haw!" when all of a sudden she stopped riding. Her eyes opened as wide as they could go, mouth agape-she completely froze. After a few moments, she was able to mouth, "Mom! There is an alien coming out of that jungle!" I turned to see what had frightened her and saw 'the alien'-an Asian lady in a sun visor! I hadn't laughed that hard in a long time.

Compromise

Mom: "Laine. When Dora ends, you need to close your eyes and take a nap."

Laine: "K. I'll just close one eye and keep one eye open."

She'll never take a nap again will she.

We Love Cousins!

Lainey and Addie became instant buddies when they came to visit (partly over their mutual Sleeping Beauty fixation). We loved having them and can't wait for these two to get together again.
